Karim Benzema welcomes Real Madrid, the team with which he has had the most success and won many victories. The French striker visited his former partners and sent a message to all Vinicius supporters.
Meeting between Benzema and his former teammates
Karim Benzema, the French striker who currently plays for Al Ittihad, knows well the flavor of winning a Ballon d’Or. He achieved this feat after leading Real Madrid to another Champions League title. Vinicius, on the other hand, had this hope, but the Brazilian failed to make this dream come true.
During discussions in Jeddah, headquarters of Real Madrid, the Frenchman and the Brazilian discussed this subject. Benzema, while pursuing his goal of a double in Saudi Arabia, took the time to meet up with his former playing companions and discuss their future progress as well as their prospects.
“I advised Vini to stay focused and not relax his efforts because in my eyes he is the best in the world. I am convinced that one day he will have the honor of winning the Ballon d’Or,” Benzema said in an interview with ‘Marca’.
The striker also exchanged a few words with Ancelotti, an “exceptional coach” who he sees as a dear friend. On the other hand, he did not have the opportunity to meet Florentino Perez. “He was not present. I sent him a message on Whatsapp to arrange a meeting. I hope to see it before the final. »
Regarding a return to Madrid, Benzema remains open to this possibility: “Coming back to Madrid? Absolutely, why not. At the moment I live and play in Jeddah, and everything is going well for me. The time will come when I will think about my future life and I am sure that I will be close to Madrid. »
As an Al Ittihad player, Benzema refuted rumors of retirement for this summer: “These words come from I don’t know who. This is completely unfounded. I don’t set any limits for myself, whether it’s in two, three or four years, I don’t plan to stop playing football. I feel in good shape, thank God. My body is in good shape, I train properly and I listen to how I feel every year. »
To conclude, he expressed all his admiration for his former club: “Real Madrid remains Real Madrid, that is to say a team which triumphs on all counts. They are constantly present because they accumulate distinctions and currently, they have the opportunity to win another one. I have spent a large part of my life at this club, and I feel at home there. »
